FINALLY! I know...this would be horrible to most of you but this is a my best so far! 49.96 My goal was to get at least one time in the 40's. I slowed down and tried to make "smart" moves and when I set the cube down I could not believe my eyes. Just goes to show that turning speed isn't the key..."smart" moves are.

Thanks again everyone for your help! I never thought I would be able to do this...of course...my goal of 30's is a little closer but still far away.
Keep at it! Getting a sub-30 is the best feeling in cubing. It all goes downhill from there.

Thank you! I took the advice I've seen here and slowed down, feels weird but I realize now how inefficient "faster" turns are when the moves are not efficient and require more turns. Feels a bit odd actually slowing down but it helped. Now, to focus on reducing my cube rotations during F2L and "looking ahead"

Thanks again!
 
Winter break.. bored.. lots of cubing.. lots of records..

Am I the only one that sees a square for number 4?

This better?

It seems that every time I bother to time myself, I get a new PB.
Sub 23 but not even near my sub 20 goal.

Average of 5: 22.66

All Non-lucky
22.85
(20.34)
(DNF)
23.68
21.46

EDIT: Seeing the times from Faz above makes me embarrassed to post these times.
 
I didn't think the cubeshape even needed mention it was so easy >.< . I really should memo that alg sometime, it is a goody.

Isn't a 4 move cubeshape about average? (Actually, I don't know; it might be interesting to know what it is given the probability of each shape occurring.)

I would say it's closer to 5, but that's just a guess. The point is not necessarily how many moves it is though, but how easy or straightforward it is. I mean, kite/scallop should be your most used cubeshape. If it isn't, I recommend changing (I used to use paw/paw, but changed to kite/scallop). Technically the cubeshape was a 1 adjustment and a slice turn off kite scallop, but it doesn't get much easier than that >.< . I wouldn't be surprised to see that cubeshape sub1'd (blade740?).
